Thanks, how to apply the social visit pass? This link http://www.ica.gov.sg/page.aspx?pageid=180 says to apply at VSC counter, is it? So after i arrive at airport i've to go to ICA building before going to interview place? Sorry totally noob, never been out from malaysia b4, even to malaysia east.

Thanks for the reply.

I will do that

But just a bit confused when different ppl telling me different things.
I google and got that from MOM website.
When i go through the manual lane in custom, the custom told me to go to ICA (Immigration & Checkpoints Authority).
My friend told me to do nothing as the custom guy already update all the information when i am going through the manual lane.

Anyway, lets see how it goes.

Thank you~

Hi everyone, it's my first time posting in this thread.

I actually owns a small startup but however due to the market slow down, my investor got no choice but to cut budget and leads to closing down of the business.

I'm currently eyeing to work in Singapore. I do have a few successful track record in e-commerce industry and wonder if asking for a 4k (negotiable) salary is too much since I do not have an e-pass.

Hahah I feel like I'm back at uni, trying to limit my food spendings to SGD15/day.
Cost of living is quite low indeed here and it seems that it is entirely possible to save at least half of my pay per month even after paying rental on my studio and some luxuries (damn you my gaming and anime doll hobby/addiction).
As for actual work, I do love the faster and more mature environment here.
Win win I'd say, but I kinda miss the missus. Only seeing her every fortnight is a big change.

hi guys.. i got a job in Singapore (changi - i think ppl call it cbd?). they offered 5ksgd and i could really use some help in my planning.

any idea where should i rent

-would love it if i can rent a cheap studio
-easy to get malay food

thanks in advance!

Hey guys,

Kinda in a dilemma here, my first job as freshie(masters accounting and finance) got offered for business development in SME company. Might be sending to Myanmar to expand business over there .

No commissions, only bonus/incentives  ( avg bonus 2-3months, top sales 6)

2.2 , after confirmation will increase 2.5

Drawbacks. Contract for 3years with 3 months penalty. Have to sign contract within the first month. Probation between 3-6months. 

Working hours 11-8pm. No OT , no hard sales because it's b2b.

Is this offer fair? I am alright with the jobs scope and arrangements so far. But is worried sick for the contract and would be pleased if tai kor here's can share their opinions in such arrangements.

Hi everyone. I'm tentatively having a job interview next Wednesday in Singapore Science Park Road. The interview time is around 1.30~2pm. Tentatively because the company comes with Japanese culture and I had some bad experience with one so might wanted to reject this interview instead.

Should I be in Singapore a day earlier or should I take the bus in the morning and going back after the interview? The accommodation in Singapore is quite expensive as I'm on a low budget. If recommended to be there one day earlier where should I stay?

Edit: Or should I take plane? Or maybe take plane from KL-SIN, then bus from SIN-KL

Thanks to everyone keeping this thread useful and informative
I wanted to check on tax resident and non-resident, I used the calculator and roughly understand how it works. In Malaysia, MTD/PCB is done by Employer on monthly basis in which we receive nett salary in our bank account. So same goes to Expat where they are taxed as Non-resident monthly for first 6 months and receive refund when they perform tax filling. Is it the same in Singapore? I am asking to ensure that I have sufficient income to cover for the first 6 months.

or pay by GIRO monthly, interest free

I am going to start working in sg, looking for accommodation now.

If I will be going back to KL during weekend, should I stay somewhere near to Changi e.g. tampines, simei... ? So friday night I could reach airport asap.
My office is located somewhere around commonwealth, thus definitely staying in queenstown, boon lay, jurong area will be nearer. In a dilemma now.

How's the life in Boon lay/jurong etc area compare to Tampines/Simei there? In terms of food/environment/community.
My budget is 1k, should be sufficient to look for a room in those area.

But staying further away from the CBD and nearer to the 'end of the line' might actually mean you'll be able to board MRTs more easily during peak hours?

any room rental listing website for normal user? I tried a few, nestia, ibilik, gumtree..etc, all seems agent post 

Hmm I'm not sure if I get what you mean there.. Well I chose banking because I'm actually interested in their career progression as told by my relative who is also working in a bank. He told me that the bank actually provide development and training programmes for him. Not only that, he also mentioned on internal transferring to different job functions is also possible so that you have more exposure in the bank..

Hi..
Got offer to work with SG company as Software Engineer, but will be station in Johor.
They will offer me salary in SGD.
Got 1.5 years of experiences, they will add ~25% since no epf will be given.
how much should I demand in terms of salary?

And anything that I should be worry?

Sifuu please 

sounds familiar   
my ex-colic used to go thru this.
- paid in SGD based on SG market
- per diem of 40SGD per day (buta earn ~SGD1.2k per month)
- no pass applied
- no epf nor cpf.
- not paying tax to MY nor SG       

No, I am looking for a room to rent, not entire unit.. Just wanted to know and compare which one suitable for me.
Why is it better to rent full tenanted one? More freedom? What are the likely curfews?
